We've probably all dealt with this question at some point in our Christian lives: "How do I KNOW I am saved?" We want a certificate or a box checked that guarantees we are secure and don't ever have to wonder, but we don't get this in Scripture. We do however, get the Holy Spirit as a down payment of what is to come. We need to know that doubt is okay, as it can help us reconfirm our commitment to the Lord, but we also CAN know for sure that we are saved because we know and trust that God's Word is true and tells us how to trust Jesus, and the result of trusting Jesus is an eternal life with Him!

All kids need to be reminded that although earthly parents may fail or be absent for one reason or another, God is the perfect parent. Lisa Harper adopted her daughter Missy four years ago, but as a single mom, she's needed to answer some questions that not all kids ask. Missy may not have a "skin" daddy, but she does have a Daddy God, and this is a great reminder for all kids.

Did you know the Bible talks about money more than 2000 times, and Jesus talks about money more than any other subject?
We all know that it can be the demise of a person when they love money, and but it also is necessary for us to survive.

Jason Duesing joins us to talk about hope in a world of cynicism, and how we can lead our kids to a foundation for a life of hopefulness rather than allowing them to be overwhelmed with the disappointments of this world.
The eye is the lamp of the body. We have to be skilled in directing our kids' gaze. It's a proactive thing to direct them to hopeful things.
Through remembering, praying, giving thanks through worship, and then sharing, we can help kids cultivate a cycle of hope for their days, bringing them back (and ourselves back) to the core of our hope: Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and one day return.
Jason's book Mere Hope is today's featured resource.

"Being deeply rooted in Scripture, in Bible study, in a trust of a God who loves you so much is what helped us in this situation to say God has not changed, God has not abandoned me, and why would I turn my back on the one who has taken me this far?"
Walking through tragedy is never easy, and it is even more difficult when you must explain and re-explain what has happened to your kids. Join us as we talk about helping your kids walk through tragedy in today's episode.

It doesn't take long living in the world to realize that bad things happen. And they are really unavoidable. Bad things happen to all people. But why? Is God not in control? Does He care?
Bad things happen ultimately because sin has broken the world. God is still in control, although He is not the author of evil or bad things. As we see through Job, God does allow bad things to happen, though.

The concept of having a relationship with Jesus, or Him being our best friend as we so often describe it for kids, is so hard to grasp for concrete thinkers when they know they can't actually see Jesus. How can we help them know that Jesus is a better friend than any person we could know on earth? Emily Jensen from Risen Motherhood joins us to talk about helping our kids understand what it means to know and love Jesus, even when we can't see Him.
Emily Jensen from Risen Motherhood joins us to answer, "Why can't I see Jesus? How is Jesus my best friend?"

God cares about animals - He created them and even sustained them through Noah's Ark. Prov 12:10 even says that the righteous care for their animals. But, is my pet in heaven? Well, that's more complicated. Romans 8:18-27 says Jesus came to redeem all creation. The Bible doesn't say exactly what happens to our pets, but we do see that there are animals in the new heavens and new earth (Is 11:6-7). Could God raise our pets? Sure. Will He? Listen in for more.
